Functions

Pluggable functions are wrapped in if (!function_exists('function_name')) : … endif; and fetched in functions.php and woocommerce/wc-functions.php.

if (!function_exists('function_name')) :

  // Function

endif;

Functions can be overridden by copying the function between the if and endif to the child’s functions.php.

Example: Changing the breadcrumb

There is no need to edit the breadcrumb or other functions this way, as filters and actions are available for more flexible customization. This is just an example of how pluggable functions work.

// Breadcrumb
function the_breadcrumb() {

  if (!is_home()) {
    echo '<nav aria-label="breadcrumb" class="mb-4 mt-2">';
    echo '<ol class="breadcrumb mb-0">';
    echo '<li class="breadcrumb-item"><a href="' . home_url() . '">' . 'Home' . '</a></li>';
    // display parent category names with links
    if (is_category() || is_single()) {
      $cat_IDs = wp_get_post_categories(get_the_ID());
      foreach ($cat_IDs as $cat_ID) {
        $cat = get_category($cat_ID);
        echo '<li class="breadcrumb-item"><a href="' . get_term_link($cat->term_id) . '">' . $cat->name . '</a></li>';
      }
    }
    // display current page name
    if (is_page() || is_single()) {
      echo '<li class="breadcrumb-item active" aria-current="page">' . get_the_title() . '</li>';
    }
    echo '</ol>';
    echo '</nav>';
  }
}
